In the newly released trailer for the upcoming psychological thriller film “Sympathy for the Devil” by RLJE Films, we witness an intense and gripping story unfold. The trailer, which spans two minutes and twenty-nine seconds, introduces us to Joel Kinnaman’s character, a soon-to-be father who is driving his wife to the hospital while she is in labor.
However, their journey takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious and unhinged man portrayed by Nicolas Cage forcefully takes control of their vehicle at gunpoint. Kinnaman’s character finds himself coerced into becoming the unwilling chauffeur for this deranged individual.
Throughout their terrifying drive, the trailer showcases various scenes, including a stop at a diner where the mysterious man forces Kinnaman’s character to participate in a high-stakes game. In this game, called “David,” he must answer questions correctly, or else his captor threatens to execute everyone present. The tension and suspense build as the trailer promises a thrilling and adrenaline-fueled ride, enhanced by Cage’s renowned talent for delivering captivating performances. Fans of Cage will be pleased to see him in fine form, having recently portrayed a bloodthirsty Dracula in “Renfield” and now demonstrating his unique brand of theatrics once again.
